5 minutes? That's a bit modest I am sure they can crack ten seconds.

10 seconds is way too quick for my car. It takes me at least 3 minutes to connect up the battery, another minute or so to get out the driveway. No, I stand by original time - somewhere in the 5 minute mark.

Oh, it's that video ...... Again :P

Better add something constructive. Has anyone with a nm35 used that little iPhone app? I have no idea if accurate, but I think my 7.4 was plausible when non turbo.

It's free just grab it warm the car up and go do it! Post result.

That's fine but I know what it displayed. ~6 secs isn't very quick. When I do it again I'll video it for you.

Sorry, should have been more clear. I don't doubt that is what you read off the display, you have nothing to gain by fibbing about it! I doubt that the gadget is accurate. Out of all the nm35s I've been in, not many feel like 5 second bracket cars. With only a filter and spacer, I just don't see it happening especially with the brake restriction still there.

5-6 second 0-100 is very plausible with a dead stock car IMO! Under that I would find hard to believe.

Pocket Dyno was the app I used. Dead stock (nearly 2 years ago) it said 7.2 sec.

Same road but with mods (stock turbo but full exhaust, intake, shift kit & brake wire mod) plus passenger was 5.7's.

I haven't tried with new turbo.

I agree Craig, 5-6 seconds is very plausible with a dead stock car, just not a dead stock M35 :)

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
